Resonate reactivates weaving and singing traditions of the island of Tinos through technological experimentation. For two years art and design group Hypercomf (Paola Palavidi and Ioannis Koliopoulos) collected recordings of folk songs and studied how these songs were influenced by naturally occurring sounds such as waves, wind, and rustling leaves. As the connections between climate and culture surfaced, Hypercomf began coding weather data into a visual language of symbols and transforming them into melodies generated by sonification software. Through their collaboration with the Industrial School of Women in Tinos and Stylianos Dimou (Ph.D., Music, Columbia), their weather symbols were woven into textiles, and an interactive sonic wall installation was created to facilitate the local community’s tactile engagement with their island’s soundscapes in an immersive audiovisual environment.

N2 - "Tactile Resonances" is an interactive sound installation that focuses on real-time sound design, pattern-based sound diffusion, and interactive manipulation of pre-recorded sound material. It facilitates the technical needs of the interdisciplinary art and design group Hypercomf in realizing the “RESONATE” project while it extends its aesthetical dimensions in a framework of audio-visual immersion. “tactile resonances” is welcoming the audience to a vibrant dialectic between the visuals and audibles. It engages people to a tactile experience of woven tapestries in close relation to pre-recorded and real-time generated soundscapes. It enables people to “touch” the sound and participate in an interactive transformation of its various parameters and instances such as the spatial diffusion, or direction, the transition from one sound to another, the blending among different soundscapes, and the real-time creation of sound clouds. The sound diffusion is realised within a quadraphonic speaker configuration (four speakers) offering future extensions for larger speaker set-ups.
